To prevent this USB and removable media crisis, companies need to ensure only authorized devices can be used on their computers.

The device’s “click” mechanism allows simple connection to USB ports with just a single push, and an easy-to-read LED indicator alerts users that the device is active. Read the rest of this entry »
